A Man of Note

The man on the photo is Shaun Usher. Shaun started a website a few years back. It has been visited by over 100 million people. He calls his project Letters of Note, and describes it as an “attempt to gather and sort fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos”.

Shaun visited our Nordic Christmas party last Friday, and it is safe to say that the 210 people in the audience were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, when he conveyed his passion for letters and read a handful of the most moving, hilarious, beautiful and intriguing letters for us.

The power can be experienced at www.letterslive.com where distinguished artists such as Benedict Cumberbatch and Sir Ian Mckellen give their interpretations of letters worthy of a wider audience.

Furthermore, you can dive into many of the letters at www.lettersofnote.com. Check it out, it is a modern day treasure trove.
